Leon’s Combine winner ZA 18/108216 was bred by Bertus out of ZA 16/29173 (JONGE RUDY x MARIEKE JUNIOR) and ZA 15/22527 “LUCY” (KANNIBAAL COCK IZAK MARAIS x DOGTER BLAUWE BLIKSEM).
Bertus bred three youngsters out of JONGE RUDY x MARIEKE JUNIOR and moved all three to his stock loft. They are ZA 16/29096 (hen), ZA 16/29097 (hen) and ZA 16/29173 (cock). It was a very wise move because all three of them have bred 1st prize union winners!!
